hoofhearted4 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 so SLI is when you have two or more of the same gfx cards running together right? is there anything special you need to do? is it as simple as putting both in an your done or so you have to have some sort of connection between the two or do something in the BIOS? also as an opinion, which of these would be better to run in SLI? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610 the second GPU would end up being $100 more, and i want to know if i would even see a difference between the two. (i noticed the Steam Processors are higher on the second, but thats it i think) but if there is no real difference, i think i might save myself the $100 and go with two of the first GPU. thanks again everyone!

N3C14R Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You need an sli bridge and 2 of the same cards which are sli capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 ya the little bridge thing (i know what it is, i saw it in a video i looked up for SLI) does it come with the card or do i gotta buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Yes it'll come with the card, but you need the exact same model and serial or it wont work. Edited August 6, 2011 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) nope i understand that part. im debating if i wanna buy two "cheaper" cards and SLI them or buy a more expensive card now and be able to buy another one another time and SLI it then. by cheaper i mean something like two $150ish cards vs two $250+ cards. then again, i might just buy two $250 cards, it all depends on my financial situation at the time, but i need to take in all angles. ive noticed it basically comes down to ti or not to ti...560ti has 384 steam processors but costs a chunk more. im thinking not to ti. i wont even notice the difference in SLI anyways. but two 560s is still better then one 560ti right? :) Edited August 6, 2011 by hoofhearted4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draakon Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 No matter which one you will choose, you can play the latest games just fine. But if you are a person who prefers having graphics details at high all the time, then go for the second one, it's clock speeds are a bit better, but in the end doesn't matter that much.
